I don't see how Randle can fit with Favors. Kanter has a much better outside shot than Randle and can stretch the floor better.

Its too bad Randle can't play the 3.
 
It really is hard to say who I want because it all depends on who is available. Yes I know it is nice to speculate and that is why we have a draft thread. It is possible that neither of the guys are there or they might both be there but the Jazz have other players we like now. Yes I know this is obvious but I thought it was obvious that all draft comments should be in the draft thread. :D
 
As a Michigan Alum, I would of course like Nik Stauskus and Trey Burke back together again on the same team. Nik's game has grown 180-degrees this season. He is a more athletic Kyle Korver. Definitely worthy of Utah's late first rounder.

Randle is Boozer 2.0 at best, so I'm not sure. If he is the best player available, then of course grab him, but I wouldn't reach for him. He can score and rebound, but like Boozer has difficulty scoring against longer, taller defenses and at least Boozer had a great offhand and that crazy high arc to his shot. With him, Kanter, and Favors that middle would be clogged like crazy.

But don't you think Randle could develop a nice perimeter game? he's only 19 and he already has the foundation of a bigman with a perimeter game.

That's why I'm higher on Vonleh. According to nbadraft.net, Vonleh has a 7'3" wing span which is 4 inches longer than Randle's. As long as Utah settles in the 4-7 range, we'll be fine. The top three is almost universally acknowledged as Wiggins, Embiid, Parker (in some order). That means Vonleh, Exum, Randle and Smart are likely the next 4 picks. You can make a good case for any of those as BPA wherever the Jazz pick.

Then, depending on who drops, I think the Jazz will try to combine the GS pick and their early 2nd to move up into the late teens.

I'm just glad we're having this debate about drafting in the top 4-8 instead of wondering who to take at #13.

It would be nice to get stauskas, or Anderson, or McDermott with those picks.
